1.5-6.0 GHz GaAs MMIC Packaged Driver Amplifier February 2008 - Rev 03-Feb-08 CMM9000-QT Features 15 dB Gain 15 dBm P1dB 3x3 QFN Package Single Positive Supply 4-8 V, 70 mA Self Bias DC Blocking Capacitors and RF Choke Inductors Integrated On-Chip RoHS Compliant Circuit Description Mimix Broadband’s 2 stage feedback 1.5 to 6.0 GHz driver amplifier is packaged in an RoHS compliant surface mount 3x3 QFN package. The device is a self-biased, single supply design with 15 dB gain and 15 dBm P1dB between 1 and 6 GHz. This MMIC uses Mimix Broadband’s 0.5um MESFET process. The device is fully matched, so there is no need for external matching components. Output DC blocking capacitor and RF choke inductors are integrated on-chip. Care must be taken to isolate the input from external DC voltages.
